Crazy, you call it a prosecutor

Chapter 988 The President and the Prosecutor (8) Taking the bait and resigning

(I’ll take a day off tomorrow and make an appointment with friends to go fishing and camping at night.)
Put aside the Longhua matter for now.

Li Zaihua and Zhang Chengmin discussed the issue of Gao Jinji's bail again.

Obvious.

Li Zaihua disagreed with Gao Jinji's bail, and even planned to put pressure on him to facilitate Zhang Chengmin's actions.

After half an hour.

Interrogation room.

Zhang Chengmin looked at Gao Jinji seriously.

"Secretary Gao, I'm sorry, Minister Li does not agree to your bail. Instead, he plans to forcibly detain you because of the abundant evidence."

"Probably tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you will be sent to the Seoul Detention Center!"

Hear this.

Gao Jinji's expression changed drastically.

"No, I can't go to jail! Lawyer Zhang, you must help me!"

Zhang Chengmin looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

see.

Gao Jinji immediately asked: "Lawyer Zhang, what do you have to say?"

Zhang Chengmin opened his mouth with a troubled look on his face.

"Secretary Gao, there is actually something I didn't tell you!"

Gao Jinji frowned lightly.

Zhang Chengmin continued: "Actually, Li Zaihua has a good relationship with Chairman Park of our Sejong. If I help you go to court."

The words are not finished, the subtext is self-evident.

Gao Jinji suddenly changed color.

"What did you say? Lawyer Zhang, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

Zhang Chengmin said seriously: "Secretary Gao, what good will it do me to lie to you!"

There is something in the words.

Gao Jinji's expression darkened.

"Lawyer Zhang, are you going to give up defending me?"

Zhang Chengmin gritted his teeth.

"Secretary Gao, to be honest, your case is not easy to win."

"I just asked Minister Li that Special Investigation Department [-] has obtained substantial evidence. You can't run away."

"Even if I take it, I can't guarantee that I can win 100% of the time. At most, I can help you reduce your sentence."

heard here.

Gao Jinji interjected with a livid face: "If I change my lawyer, can you help me win?"

Zhang Chengmin nodded and shook his head.

This made Gao Jinji confused.

"Lawyer Zhang, can you stop beating around the bush and say what you have to say?"

Zhang Chengmin took a deep breath.

"Secretary Gao, the outcome of your case would be the same with any lawyer. It just depends on the length of the sentence."

"And I learned from Minister Li that accepting bribes is just one of the crimes, and there are also crimes such as obstruction of justice, abuse of power, etc."

"Three crimes shall be punished together. Secretary Gao will have to serve at least 20 years in prison."

Facing the possibility of more than 20 years in prison.

Gao Jinji's entire face instantly turned pale, as if he had aged ten years.

I was almost frightened when I saw it.

Zhang Chengmin changed the subject.

"However, if you leave this case to me, I can help you reduce your sentence by at least five years!"

The voice fell.

Gao Jinji still sat there motionless.

After a long time.

Gao Jinji said quietly: "Lawyer Zhang, with the relationship between Shizong and Li Zaihua, can I trust you?"

Zhang Chengmin smiled slightly.

"As long as Secretary Gao is willing to pay a considerable price, I will be the best criminal lawyer on the peninsula!"

Gao Jinji's eyes lit up.

He didn't want to change lawyers until necessary.

After all, he knew Zhang Chengmin thoroughly. If he were replaced by another lawyer, who knows whether he would collude with Li Zaihua.

"What price do I have to pay?"

Zhang Chengmin said calmly: "One billion, only one billion, I am willing to help you fight this lawsuit!"

Gao Jinji frowned.

"One billion? Is that too much?"

Zhang Chengmin replied: "One billion is just the preliminary price."

"As long as you can afford the money, I can quit Sejong Law Firm and represent this case as an independent lawyer!"

Gao Jinji looked happy.

"Are you serious? Are you willing to quit Sejong for me?"

Zhang Chengmin said calmly: "Secretary Gao, you think too much. Without you, I will leave Sejong soon."

"Now Sejong is completely a family business, and there is no room for improvement."

"I am a senior senior partner of Sejong, and the next step is to be a representative director."

"Chairman Park is nurturing his grandson, and the position of representative director will belong to Lawyer Park sooner or later."

"Instead of living in a muddleheaded life in Sejong, it is better to break into a new world."

"Secretary Gao, your case will be my first case after leaving Sejong. There must be no room for error."

Cracking, Zhang Chengmin deceived Gao Jinji into a daze, completely believing what the other party said.

After listening.

Gao Jinji was very excited.

Zhang Chengmin's ability is obvious to all. If he wholeheartedly represents his case, maybe there will be a turn for the better.

Besides, he is not young now. He will really go to jail for 20 years and he will be in his sixties when he comes out.

At that time, when I was old and poor, I might as well just die in prison.

This is not Gao Jinji's delusion.

Everything he has achieved so far is entirely thanks to Zhao Shulan, who is an indispensable figure within the New Party.

What's more, Zhao Shulan is 62 years old this year, and who knows how many years she can live.

If Zhao Shulan dies in front.

Without Zhao Shulan's care, the fate of the family can be imagined.

Even if you get out of jail and face a poor family, what's the point of going back?

It's better to give it a try and invite Zhang Chengmin as a defense lawyer, so that Zhao Shulan can at least be released from prison during his lifetime.

At that time, Zhao Shulan may be able to make arrangements based on past friendship.

Think about it.

Gao Jinji's eyes narrowed and he immediately made up his mind.

"Lawyer Zhang, I only have one billion in hand. If there is more, I will have to find another lawyer!"

You have to leave yourself a way out so that you don't end up penniless after you get out of prison.

Zhang Chengmin pretended to be deep in thought, but he was so excited that the fish took the bait.

After a long time.

Zhang Chengmin gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, one billion is one billion, just treat it as a big reward for opening my new law firm!"

Gao Jinji smiled.

"Thank you, Lawyer Zhang, but I will only pay [-] million first, and the remaining [-] million will be paid after the case is completed!"

Zhang Chengmin nodded.

"No problem, it makes sense!"

Gao Jinji stretched out his hand.

"I wish Lawyer Zhang a good start and a successful start!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chengmin held Gao Jinji's hand.

"Thank you, Secretary Gao. I will try my best to help you persuade Minister Li to apply for bail."

"But the bail may not be cheap, so you have to be mentally prepared!"

Gao Jinji licked his lips.

"Lawyer Zhang, can you estimate how much bail is needed?"

Zhang Chengmin shook his head.

"It depends on Minister Li, but I estimate it will be at least 20 billion!"

I heard the bail would be 20 billion.

Gao Jinji opened his mouth wide with a look of disbelief.

"20 billion, I might as well go to the Seoul Detention Center!"

Zhang Chengmin shrugged.

"Secretary Gao, your status is different, and a high bail is necessary."

Gao Jinji sighed.

"Lawyer Zhang, if the bail amount is more than one billion, I would rather go to the Seoul Detention Center!"

Zhang Chengmin spread his hands.

"Secretary Gao, regarding the bail issue, I can only do my best."

"Besides, Minister Li may not necessarily agree to bail. It's a bit too early for us to discuss it now!"

Gao Jinji nodded. "Hey, I understand, thank you Lawyer Zhang for reminding me."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered one thing.

"By the way, Lawyer Zhang, let's take a deposition next. How should I answer?"

Zhang Chengmin said confidently: "Secretary Gao, just do as I say later."
-
18:08 in the evening.

Zhang Chengmin walked out of the interrogation room and shook hands with Li Zaihua.

"Minister Li, I will come again tomorrow. I hope to see relevant information!"

"I'll sort it out as soon as possible, tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

Zhang Chengmin nodded: "Okay, I hope so. I will investigate the case in detail."

The two said a few more words, then turned and left.

It didn't take a while.

Zhang Chengmin walked out of the prosecutor's office.

Just came to the bottom of the steps.

The reporters who had been waiting for two hours immediately surrounded Zhang Chengmin.

Reporter A couldn't wait to say: "Hello, Lawyer Zhang, I am a reporter from MBC TV station. What do you think of Secretary Go Jin-ki's case?"

Reporter B asked the same question.

"Hello, Lawyer Zhang, I am a reporter from Zhongyang Daily. Do you plan to release Secretary Gao Jinji on bail?"

"Hello, Lawyer Zhang, I am a reporter from the Seoul Daily. Is there any chance that Secretary Go Jin-ki will be freed from guilt?"

"Hello, Lawyer Zhang, I am a reporter from JTBC TV station. What crime will Minister Li Zaihua prosecute Secretary Gao Jinji for?"

"Hello, Lawyer Zhang, I am a NY online reporter, may I ask?"

Listening to reporters asking questions one after another.

Zhang Chengmin pressed in the air.

The reporters suddenly fell silent.

Zhang Chengmin cleared his throat and said, "Dear journalists, I am not in a position to answer your questions at the moment."

"However, I am here today to announce something."

"Due to my personal relationship, I will resign from all positions in the Shizong Law Firm and defend Mr. Gao Jinji as an independent lawyer!"

A word stirred up a thousand waves.

click click click click
The reporters pressed the shutter frantically.

Followed by.

Reporter A shouted: "Lawyer Zhang, what made you resign from the Shizong Law Firm?"

You know, Sejong Law Firm is one of the top law firms on the peninsula and has huge influence.

I don’t know how many lawyers tried their best to join Sejong, but still couldn’t join.

As a senior senior partner of Sejong, Zhang Chengmin has an unusual social status and is the idol of countless lawyers.

Now that Zhang Chengmin has said that he will resign from his position as the emperor, reporters naturally want to know why.

Reporter B echoed: "That's right, Lawyer Zhang, was it because someone threatened you that you had to resign from the position of the death clan?"

At this time, someone stood up and poured dirty water on Li Zaihua.

"Lawyer Zhang, I heard that Minister Li Zaihua and Lawyer Park Jung-wook, Prince Sejong, are good friends."

"Could it be that you were threatened by Park Zhengxu to resign from your post as a disciple?"

As soon as this word comes out.

The reporters were thrilled.

Unexpectedly, Park Jung-wook, the heir of Sejong, has such a relationship with Lee Jae-hwa, which is interesting now.

How could Zhang Chengmin admit it?

“Dear journalists, please don’t get me wrong.”

"This is my personal decision, regardless of anyone else's business, and I have not been influenced or threatened by others."

"If you want to know more about this case, I will hold a press conference later."

"Okay, please give way, I'm leaving!"
-
Time flies.

20:20 in the evening.

Park House.

Inside the living room.

Park Hee-geun, Park Jung-wook, and Park Jung-ah were sitting on the sofa, chatting and watching the news.

The TV screen at this time was fixed on KBS Prime News Channel.

Zheng Caiying reported today's news calmly and gracefully.

Sudden.

Zheng Caiying was furious: "Dear viewers, here is a quick news break. Please read the report from the reporter in front!"

The voice just fell.

The scene changed and we arrived outside the Prosecutor's Office.

Zhang Chengmin stood on the steps and announced his resignation from Shi Zong Law Firm.

Soon the screen returned to the live broadcast room.

Zheng Caiying introduced Zhang Chengmin's resume with a serious expression.

"Lawyer Zhang Chengmin is one of the famous lawyers in my country and serves as a visiting professor at the Seoul University of Foreign Studies Law School."

at the same time.

Park Zhengxu and Park Jingya looked at each other.

Park Zhengxu said with an ugly face: "What the hell is Lawyer Zhang doing? He announced his resignation without notifying the company. It's too much!"

Park Jingya did not speak, but glanced at Park Heegen.

Park Hee-geun drank tea and acted like it had nothing to do with him.

Park Jingya rolled her eyes and gently pulled Park Zhengxu's sleeve.

Park Zhengxu frowned and looked at his wife.

"Jingya."

The words just came out.

Park Jingya glared at her husband fiercely.

Park Zhengxu was shocked.

Park Heegen had long noticed his grandson's wife's behavior.

Have to admit.

If Park Jung Ah were a boy, her future achievements might not be lower than her own.

"Jingya, what do you want to ask?"

Pu Jingya smiled coquettishly: "Grandpa, did you know about Lawyer Zhang's resignation?"

Park Zhengxu on the side was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes showed disbelief.

The impact of the public resignation of Sejong’s senior senior partner can be imagined.

Generally, law firms will try to keep a low profile when encountering this kind of thing.

Now that he heard that his grandfather had known about this for a long time, how could Park Zhengxu not be shocked.

Park Hee-geun took a sip of tea.

"Jingya, your guess is good, but there is one thing. I only learned about this not long ago!"
-
the other side.

Jongno District.

Pay cave.

at home.

Li Zaihua was lying on the sofa, drinking beer and admiring the woman on the TV.

When Zhang Chengmin's picture appeared, he looked a little more serious.

As Zhang Chengmin announced his resignation in public, Li Zaihua's face was full of smiles.

Then an idea struck him, and he took out his anonymous mobile phone from his space backpack and dialed the number.

After dozens of seconds, the call was connected.

Zhang Chengmin's voice came out.

"Minister Li!"

Li Zaihua smiled and said: "Lawyer Zhang, on behalf of Longhua, I welcome you!"

Hahaha.
There was laughter on the other side of the phone.

"Minister Li gave you too much. If you don't agree, I can't convince myself!"

The corner of Li Zaihua's mouth raised slightly.

"Representative Zhang, I hope that under your leadership, Longhua Law Firm can make further progress!"

Zhang Chengmin said gratefully: "Thank you, Minister Li, for your consideration. I will not let you down!"

“I believe in my own vision and Lawyer Zhang’s ability!”

"Don't worry, Minister Li, I will do my best to convince Gao Jinji!"

Li Zaihua nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, Lawyer Zhang, it's all up to you!"

The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Li Zaihua just put down his phone.

suddenly.

Jingle Bell.
The doorbell rang.

Li Zaihua raised his eyebrows, wondering who it was so late, and couldn't help but get up and walk to the door.

Come to the video doorbell.

Li Zaihua's expression changed slightly, and it disappeared in an instant.

Outside the door is Li Zhengzheng, his future father-in-law.
